[Ambient Intro]

0:00:03.500,0:00:04.695
[Reporter]: Hey guys, [br]so today we're

0:00:04.695,0:00:06.225
talking about cockroaches again!

0:00:06.680,0:00:09.386
[sound of disgust], grouse!

0:00:09.478,0:00:12.770
Wait, wait, why are most of us grossed out

0:00:12.770,0:00:15.014
by these little guys [br]when we should be thanking

0:00:15.014,0:00:16.316
these crazy critters?

0:00:16.316,0:00:17.920
At least people in China are,

0:00:17.920,0:00:21.826
in fact did you know [br]right now there are over 100 buildings

0:00:21.826,0:00:23.933
in China that are raising roaches?

0:00:23.933,0:00:25.100
Why you ask?

0:00:25.100,0:00:26.843
Because people are making money

0:00:26.843,0:00:28.480
from selling them of course!

0:00:28.480,0:00:30.642
A business that makes nothing but money,

0:00:30.642,0:00:32.441
is a cockroach business.

0:00:32.441,0:00:36.480
I'd like to live as a poor man [br]with lots of cockroaches.

0:00:36.480,0:00:41.600
There are people who have money [br]and people who raise cockroaches.

0:00:41.600,0:00:43.562
I know what you're thinking, [br]who would wanna buy

0:00:43.562,0:00:45.144
a thousand cockroaches?

0:00:45.144,0:00:46.140
I do!

0:00:46.140,0:00:46.922
It turns out that people

0:00:46.922,0:00:48.633
aren't just buying them as pets

0:00:48.633,0:00:50.000
to have crawl around their house

0:00:50.000,0:00:51.540
or turn into cyber roaches,

0:00:51.540,0:00:53.039
they're buying them to make

0:00:53.039,0:00:54.738
medical powder!

0:00:54.738,0:00:56.591
This is how it works.

0:00:56.591,0:00:58.032
Farmers boil them.

0:00:58.032,0:00:58.825
Dry them.

0:00:58.825,0:01:01.700
Then smash them into a powdered product.

0:01:01.700,0:01:04.309
Quite sad really, poor little guys.

0:01:04.309,0:01:05.824
But you can't blame them.

0:01:05.824,0:01:08.489
Surprisingly, researchers are looking into

0:01:08.489,0:01:10.848
whether chemicals in cockroach powder

0:01:10.848,0:01:11.770
can help cure

0:01:11.770,0:01:15.280
hair loss, cancer, and even HIV!

0:01:15.280,0:01:16.840
Cockroaches are amazing!

0:01:16.840,0:01:17.751
Period.

0:01:17.751,0:01:20.791
So it's no wonder humans want [br]some of that mojo!

0:01:20.791,0:01:22.174
Did you know cockroaches can

0:01:22.174,0:01:24.423
hold their breath for up to 30 minutes?[br][Flip]

0:01:24.423,0:01:26.964
Run up to 3 miles per hour? [Flip]

0:01:26.964,0:01:29.683
Can live over a week with their head? [br][Flip]

0:01:29.683,0:01:32.677
They like beer, and [flip] originated more

0:01:32.677,0:01:35.480
than 250 million years ago!

0:01:35.480,0:01:36.396
If you need a reference,

0:01:36.396,0:01:38.102
hit up my boy Wang Fu Ming,

0:01:38.102,0:01:39.881
he currently has a farm with over

0:01:39.881,0:01:42.000
10 million roaches!

0:01:42.000,0:01:43.104
Wow!

0:01:43.104,0:01:44.013
[several amazement clicking sounds]

0:01:44.013,0:01:45.772
Blows my mind it does!

0:01:45.772,0:01:46.748
Alright guys, well that's
